Hi Everyone.

Message to all that has photo's of the London meet.

It has been bought to my attention that we should not have had the photo's passed around as we did not had permission from other members in the group to do so.

I wouldn't want to upset anyone as I can see we have.

So can you all kindly delete your photos & any e-mails of members you do not know.

Sorry about that.......Marilyn x

Hi Marilyn

I can see you are right about the permission thing, never really thought of it.

I was just about to send the photos I took.

Very good Dermot

Some sad news, OH's mum passed away yesterday afternoon. We was going to see her at the end of this week but OH was pleased he got to see her a couple of weeks ago.

Good evening everyone.
Yvonne, I am so sorry to hear about your MIL. Even though it was expected to happen, it is still a shock when it happens isn't it.

May I have your permission to keep the photo of yourself, Maddie and myself.
I shall of course delete all the others, as I would hate for it to have upset anyone, but as this particular photo is special to us friendlies, I would like to keep it.

Maddie, could I please have your permission to keep the photo of the three of us taken away from everyone else.
And as requested, I have deleted all E.mail addy's that were swapped, and will do the same with the photo's.

Shelly what the heck are you doing touching the electrics in your house.
Are you trying to electrocute yourself or what.

and were will it be

Shelly, I am glad my OH is a sparky, so no need for me to worry about any electrics in this house.

As far as the photo goes Shelly, it's a bit of a touchy subject, thats why I am asking for permission to keep it.

Marilyn dont forget to pack Shelly's wind chimes will you. Is your flight tomorrow - Wednesday, or Thursday.
Either way, way a safe flight home honey.

Hi ...

Home tomorrow... arriving Thursday morning..

Shelly ....No its the second this year ! LOL

But I'm booking you in for the next one as I need someone to make me laugh...and you fit the bill ..LOL

Yes Mo I have her Wind Chimes but she is of no fixed abode ....so how am I going to get them to her ?????????????

Tell you what Mo think I'll send them to you and when Shelly goes to the caravan in Canvey.. She passes your doorstep ......how about that then ...He he.....

Job done ...

marilyn im a tramp and live on the streets lol

mo ask the old man why my light want work i think its a ring wire but i only have to put the 2 bown ones in just have to match them with the live one an nutral one

Marilyn, if Shelly passes my house going to Canvey, she's going the wrong way. The caravan is on the Kent coast, not on the Essex Coast.lol

Will ask him in a minute Shelly, he's upstairs at the moment.
